Reflections

As I near my due date(the 27th!!!), I find myself reflecting on the pregnancy and how I can't believe that in a few short weeks (please don't let it be that long, Henry) our son will be born and our lives will be forever changed. As I have mentioned before, I am not one of those "I loved being pregnant!' chicks. It certainly was not horrible (perhaps I should wait until after labor to write this), but it has not been a cake walk either.
10 Things I won't miss about being pregnant:
1. Having to pee every 5 minutes
2. Not being able to tie my shoes, put on socks, put on pants, put on underwear, etc. Getting dressed kinda sucks.
3. Not being able to bend over. The floors are littered with stuff.
4. Not being able to eat certain foods, like sushi and soft cheeses. I am dying for some feta!
5. Getting looks and comments from strangers when out in public, like "Dang, you due any day now, right?" Yea dude, any day 4 months from now. Thanks.
6. Stretch marks!
7. Not being able to sleep on my stomach!
8. Heartburn
9. Not being able to see my lady bits. It disturbs me to not know what is going on down there.
10. Not being able to breathe!!!

We have so much love for someone we have never met...I cannot imagine how we will feel when we meet him and see his little face! I also find it hard to imagine how I can love anyone as much as I love Betty! But I cannot wait to find out!
I am ready, Henry. You can come out now!
